So, you think you want a dog? Well guess what. You actually want two dogs! You’re welcome for the update. Thelma and Velma are best friends who live life to the fullest, paw in paw. Both are maltipoo-teddy bear mixes who love to play fetch, take long walks, and be friendly with everyone they meet. They’re also housetrained, know how to use a doggy door, and are even great with kids. Plus, those faces. Please.

Here’s some notes from their foster:

Thelma and Velma are doing great. They enjoy taking naps together in the same bed, and sometimes they choose to sleep solo. It only took a day before they were potty trained! Smart cookies.

They have no signs of food aggression. I do like to feed them separately because sometimes Velma is really hungry and wants to help herself to Thelmas food. Both know their names and respond well when I call them by their prior names. It appears that they understand come, sit (not consistent, getting better, definitely better with treats), wait, and uh-uh (no). They jump on their human. I’m discouraging this by gentle push or uh-uh. They’re really smart and get things quickly.
